Past MAHEI Classes
January 15th
On January 15, 2023, 2-5:30pm The Marcus Anthony Hall Educational Institute was launched at the Bruce C. Bolling Building on the 6th floor. The event was wonderful and some of our speakers were Chief Segun Idowu, City of Boston, Former State Rep Nika Elugardo, State Representative Russell Holmes.and CEO Glynn Lloyd and Former City Councilor Charles Yancey. There was food, fun and dancing. We had the Baking Star 11 year old Aneily Barton who baked a wonderful cake. Marcus Anthony Hall Mom Francine Tymes was there selling her collection of ties and handkerchiefs called the Marcus Hall Collection. His 11 year old son Yoda was also there. The food was great and the speakers were encouraging. We also had other vendors and a wonderful soloist by the name of Danielle Ruffen. It was a fun night for all and the first class is January 28, 2023. All seven Board members of MAHEI and all four staff members were in attendance.

We learned about the 3 branches of government, we learned who our city, state and federal elected officials were. Ms Marie Firmin and Ms Paula Coars taught about the 7 principles of Kwanzaa and why we celebrate for the 7 days after Christmas. The youth were engaged as Mr Edosa Osemwegie created a little friendly competition with our new guide books. It was a great start to our journey and our young folks had a good time and learned some new things that they did not know.
